AP2 exam 3 Flashcards
area of the body drained by right lymphatic duct
right side of head, right neck, right upper extremity, right abdominal cavity
area of the body drained by thoracic duct
both lower extremities, left upper extremity, left abdominal cavity, left side of head and neck
3 muscles that function during forced inspiration
sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, pectoralis minor
3 muscles that function during forced expiration
external obliques, transverse abdominus, internal intercostals
2 factors that directly affect the alveolar exchange
pulmonary compliance, diameter of airway
list each respiratory division that you would pass through to reach the alveoli if you were an oxygen molecule in the larynx
larynx-trachea-primary bronchi-secondary bronchi-tertiary bronchi- bronchioles- alveolar duct-alveolar sac- alveoli
hydrogen binding to hemoglobin resulting in oxygen release
bohr effect
detect and destroy abnormal/cancerous tissues/cells
Natural Killer Cells
connect the nasopharynx with the middle ear
Pharyngotympanic tube
produces surfactant
Type II cells
Ease at which the lungs can expand
pulmonary compliance
abnormally low systemic blood PCO2 due to hyperventilation
Respiratory Alkalosis
Increase in the depth of respiration, but not the rate
Hyperpnea
Responsible for removing worn-out erythrocytes from circulation
spleen
decrease in arterial PCO2 that results in no impulses sent to the inspiratory area
hypocapnia
collects all the lymphatic fluid from abdomen and lower extremities
cisterna chyli
increase in arterial PCO2 which stimulates the inspiratory area and increases the rate and depth of breathing
Hypercapnia
activated/formed at the end of each coagulation pathway
Fibrin
Aortic bodies and carotid bodies with respond to changes in PCO2, H+, and PO2 in blood
peripheral chemoreceptors
Site of T-lymphocyte maturation
Thymus
Lease abundant leukocyte with no visible nucleus due to abundant granules
basophil
watery portion of blood
plasma
